You're basically the Ignatief Liberals at this point. "I have no ideas and no understanding of how to run this province, but man, those other guys are scary because I say so."

Alison Redford has been premier for 18 months. Her government is still in its infancy (when one considers how long it takes to draft and enact any meaningful or complex legislation, let alone the policy development work that precedes it.)
There are a number of encouraging signs (in my view):
(1) the proposed carbon tax;
(2) complete redrafting of the
Municipal Government Act (draft copy to tabled in spring of 2015) that will hopefully dramatically alter the relationship between the province and its municipalities (and Calgary and Edmonton in particular);
(3) reinstatement of healthcare funding for gender reassignment surgery;
(4) successfully lobbying Siemens to move their Canadian energy research division to Calgary (this was apparently carried out during the much criticized trip to the London Olympics btw); and
(5) Ms. Redford's forceful campaigning in the United States for the Keystone pipeline.
